Terms & Conditions

Service Description The fundamental capabilities of speedconferences services are to provide audio, video and web-based conferencing services and related standard and enhanced conferencing features (“Services”). speedconferences may, in its sole discretion, enhance, and/or expand the features of the Services from time to time. Customer shall provide all user information reasonably necessary to enable speedconferences to create user profiles for each user for whom Customer wishes to provide access to the Services pursuant to this Agreement. Unless indicated otherwise, as indicated in the Rate Information of this Agreement or through a separate agreement, the Services are charged by multiplying the number of minutes used in a month by Customer’s per minute rate as indicated in Rate Information of this Agreement. Customer acknowledges that it may use certain services or features that are not listed in the Rate Information of this Agreement and Customer will be charged for such services and features based on speedconferences’s standard rate or through Customer’s sales representative. speedconferences may change rates or add new rates at any time without providing notice to Customer, however, any rates indicated in the Rate Information of this Agreement will remain in effect for the term of this Agreement. speedconferences reserves the right to reclaim any dial-in numbers provided Customer for Services (“Dial-In Numbers”) if such Dial-In Numbers are “inactive” for 30 days. Inactive is defined as no usage on a specific number/service and no upcoming events scheduled for such number/service. The Dial-In Number will be reassigned to the Customer, upon request, only if it continues to be available. If the Dial-In Number is not available, Customer will be provided new dial-in numbers.

Service Security speedconferences utilizes industry-accepted measures and standards to maintain the security and confidentiality of Customer’s content and identifiable information. speedconferences hosts Customer content and information on a server that is secured by an authentication scheme and a firewall. Customer acknowledges and agrees that speedconferences cannot prevent and, therefore, is not responsible for inadvertent security breaches. speedconferences cannot and does not warrant or guarantee that third parties will not intercept, interfere with, or access in an unauthorized manner, information or communications sent or received as part of the Services contemplated under this Agreement. Use of conference recording or taping may subject Customer to State or Federal laws or regulations (e.g., regarding the notification to participants of the use of these features). speedconferences does not assume the responsibility for any required notification to any conferencing participants of the Services.

Terms and Termination

Term . The initial term of this Agreement shall be for the service dates set forth in the Account Information of this Agreement (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement shall thereafter automatically renew without interruption for one (1) year (“Renewal Term”), unless either party gives written notice of its intent not to renew the Agreement at least thirty (30) days before the beginning of any Renewal Term. For purposes of this Agreement, “Term" means the Initial Term and all Renewal Terms.

Termination for Cause . Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Agreement may be terminated immediately by either party (a) if either party has breached a material provision of this Agreement and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice; (b) in the event either party breaches any of the provisions hereof and such breach is not curable; and (c) in the event that the either party becomes insolvent, files any petition in bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or is the subject of an involuntary bankruptcy petition which is not set aside or withdrawn within thirty (30) days from the date of its filing.

Early Termination by Customer . In the event that Customer discontinues service prior to the end of the Term, Customer shall be liable for the balance remaining.

Survival . Sections 4 and 8 - 13 of this Agreement shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

Payments, Charges and Taxes

Payments and Charges . Each month, speedconferences will invoice Customer for the total monthly cost of all Services based on rates indicated on the first page of this Agreement. Payment will be due fifteen (15) days from date of invoice. Unpaid invoices will be subject to a monthly service charge of 1.5% of the outstanding balance or the maximum legally allowable interest rate, whichever is lower. Customer must notify speedconferences of any disputed charges within ten (10) days from the date of the invoice, otherwise Customer will be deemed to agree to such charges and speedconferences will not be subject to making adjustments to charges or invoices.

Unpaid Charges. In the event charges due are not paid in full, for any reason, within thirty (15) days from the Invoice date, speedconferences shall have the right to suspend all or any portion of the Services until such time as Customer has paid all undisputed charges then due to speedconferences, including any applicable late fees. Following such payment, speedconferences shall reinstate Services to Customer only upon the provision by such Customer to speedconferences of satisfactory assurance of Customer’s ability to pay for Services and advance payment of any cost of re-instituting Services. Such suspension shall not relieve Customer of payment liability for all undisputed charges accrued through the date of such suspension, and shall not relieve Customer of any applicable Minimum Annual Commitment.

Taxes . All pricing and fees under this Agreement do not include taxes. Customer shall pay all applicable federal, state, county, local or other governmental taxes, fees, duties, tolls or other charges now or hereafter imposed that are attributable to the Services and included on Customer’s invoices.

Trademarks and Trade Names Other than use of materials and point-of-sale items supplied by speedconferences, Customer has no right or license to use any of the trademarks or trade names owned by, licensed to or associated with speedconferences (the “Marks”) during the Term of this Agreement without express written consent from speedconferences. Despite prior approval, Customer will immediately cease using the Marks upon notice from speedconferences or upon termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any use by Customer of the Marks other than as described above will constitute a breach of this Agreement for which, in additional to any other remedies available at law or in equity, speedconferences may terminate this Agreement.

Responsibility of Account Number and Password Customer is responsible for all uses of the Services in association with Customer’s account, whether or not authorized by Customer. Customer is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Customer’s account and owner numbers and necessary conference codes, passwords and personal identification numbers used in conjunction with the Services. Customer agrees to immediately notify speedconferences of any unauthorized use of Customer’s account of which Customer becomes aware.

Responsibility for Content of Communication Customer is the sole owner of content and is solely responsible for the content of all conference communications (visual, written or audible) using Customer’s account. Customer will not use Services to send unsolicited mass mailings, surveys, pyramid schemes, chain letters, or contests outside Customer’s company or organization or to any person who has not given specified permission to be included in such a process (commercial or otherwise). Customer agrees not to use Services to communicate any message or material that is harassing, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening, obscene or harmful to minors, or is otherwise unlawful that would give rise to civil liability, is defamatory or that constitutes or encourages conduct that could constitute criminal offense under any applicable law or regulation. Although speedconferences is not responsible for any such communications, speedconferences may suspend any such communications of which speedconferences is made aware of and provide prompt notice to Customer. Customer acknowledges and agrees that speedconferences does not control or monitor Customer’s content nor guarantee the accuracy, integrity, security or quality of Customer’s content.

Either party may freely assign this Agreement in conjunction with (i) a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or (ii) a merger or similar transact; provided that the acquiring or resulting entity agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey and the United States without giving effect to the conflict-of-laws principles thereof that would require the application of the laws of a different state.
